In the Court of the Conqueror is a solo performance piece by artist George Emilio Sanchez with projections and visual storytelling by visual artist Patty Ortiz. Together, they confront the history of how the courts have diminished the Tribal Sovereignty of Native Nations.
The piece also tells the story of Sanchez’s experiences of navigating generational trauma regarding his Indigenous identity while being raised in an Ecuadorian immigrant household. The work focuses on several Federal Indian Landmark cases, leading up to the Johnson v. McIntosh 1823 Supreme Court case that applied the Doctrine of Discovery that still holds legal precedent in our courts of the conqueror. Sanchez and Ortiz traveled across hundreds of geographic miles and ancestral homelands to create this interdisciplinary performance that combines text and video projects to reveal this country’s ongoing conflicts with Native Nations in search of Indigenous justice and sovereignty.

Voices From the Holy Land Film Salon: Made Homeless in the Homeland: Lawfare, Demolition, and Land Theft -RCF cosponsored
2025-02-16 12:00 - 14:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
The Rachel Corrie Foundation is delighted to co-sponsor Voices From the Holy Land film salon Made Homeless in the Homeland: Lawfare, Demolition, and Land Theft on Sunday, February 16. Remember to register for this Zoom event.
In an ongoing policy of ethnic cleansing, Israeli authorities uproot fruit trees, raze farmland, destroy rainwater reservoirs and irrigation systems, and demolish homes. Meanwhile increasingly emboldened Israeli settlers — protected by soldiers — taunt families and vandalize property. The ultimate goal is to force Palestinians off the land.
With the world’s attention diverted by the war on Gaza, displacement of West Bank Palestinians has increased dramatically in the past year. Our Salon will focus on Israel’s aggressive use of lawfare in its campaign of ethnic cleansing, the longstanding efforts of Palestinians to nonviolently resist, and the role of allies.
Watch the curated film for free at your convenience. | Join the Q&A discussion with:
Bruno Sorrentino: London-based filmmaker specializing in longitudinal documentaries
Eid Suleman Hathaleen: Artist & human rights activist from Umm al Khair, home demolished by IDF
Jeff Halper: Israeli-American anthropologist, author, lecturer, and political activist;founder of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD)
Mouin Rabbani (moderator): Co-Editor of Jadaliyya; researcher, analyst, and commentator

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!
From prison abolition to Palestine liberation, Angela Davis has been at the forefront of radical intellectual work and political activism for decades. Her public rise in the Black Power and Women of Color movements made her an outspoken advocate for racial, gender, and economic justice. She is the author of many books, and a founding member of Critical Resistance, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex.
This intergenerational conversation will draw inspiration from Dr. Davis’s ideas for abolition, international solidarity for Palestine, and collective movement building. As she has written, “We cannot go on as usual. . .We cannot be moderate. We will have to be willing to stand up and say no with our combined spirits, our collective intellects, and our many bodies.”
Dr. Davis will be in conversation with Gilda Sheppard & Ranna.
Gilda Sheppard, Ph.D., is faculty emerita in sociology, cultural and media studies at
Evergreen Tacoma, and taught at Washington prisons for over a decade. She is an international award-winning filmmaker, most recently for her documentary Since I Been Down, featuring the Black Prisoner Caucus and their liberation education program.
Ranna is part of a Seattle-based grassroots collective of Palestinian and SWANA feminists that organizes at the intersection of gender justice and anti-imperialism. As a member of the diaspora, she continues to fight for the liberation of Palestine through building education and community in Seattle.
Sponsors: Rachel Corrie Foundation, Evergreen Tacoma (and others TBD)

Peace vigil week 75 - Free Mahmoud Khalil
2025-03-14 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | 4th & Water Streets, Olympia, 98501
Join us at our weekly Olympia peace vigil on Friday. We continue to advocate and stand together for peace, a permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo and continue to network for Palestine.

This Friday, we also demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, whom the authorities took. On the evening of March 8, 2025, Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State’s announcement that it plans to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine protests. Mahmoud, who is Palestinian, is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.

Add your name to demand the immediate release of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil from DHS detention and a reversal to Columbia University’s protocol permitting ICE on campus without a warrant.

We gather to continue to advocate for freedom, equality, and justice for Palestinians and beyond.

Thank you to the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation for organizing the vigils and welcoming us. Please respect the peaceful and welcoming nature that FOR has maintained at these weekly vigils for so many years.
